According to election officials, only 7 percent voting was done till 11 o’clock. Before this, less than 2 percent of the votes were cast by 10 o’clock in the morning.

Polling began at 8 am for 270 seats in the three municipal corporation between strong security on Sunday. It was expected that due to good weather, the voting percentage will increase. There were speculations that people would come out of the house to vote. But that did not happen.

The low percentage of voting is considered a matter of concern for the BJP, but the low voter turnout in the corporation elections has put the Aam Aadmi Party and Congress in trouble.
